Issues unresolved
The game won't let me select OpenGL and DirectX mode
- It occurs because the game does not correctly recognize modern video cards but it is still not a problem since it lets you select the software renderer and there if it works correctly
Graphic bug in Leda Calisto's apartment in Windows 10
- It occurs due to a bad compatibility of Windows 10 with DirectDraw but luckily the bug does not affect the game at all, it is just a simple graphic error
